Imagine a world where existing infrastructure becomes intelligent, without costly overhauls. This company builds a privacy‑first platform that transforms legacy sensor systems into real‑time operational intelligence, detecting threats and surfacing insights from existing cameras and networks. Their technology connects directly to what's already there, delivering critical value without replacing a single device.
As a Frontier Engineer, you're not just writing code; you're the bridge between product and customer, solving ambiguous, real‑world problems at the edge of the system. This isn't a pure software role, nor is it just a field engineer position. You'll own solutions end‑to‑end, from understanding a vague customer need to deploying full‑stack software and configuring hardware on‑site. You'll join a high‑autonomy team that thrives on converting ambiguity into clear, deployed solutions.
The work:
- Define and scope complex, ambiguous customer problems, translating vague needs into concrete technical solutions.
- Architect and build full‑stack features: from Python backend services and data pipelines to new TypeScript UI components.
- Install, configure, and troubleshoot hardware on‑site, integrating new capabilities into existing sensor networks.
- Act as a critical feedback loop, surfacing direct customer insights to product and engineering teams.
- Spend up to half your time directly with customers, ensuring successful deployments and building lasting relationships.
What You Bring:
- A track record of delivering real‑world technical solutions in highly ambiguous environments, where requirements were not handed to you.
- Direct experience working with customers, including on‑site deployments, and the ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly.
- Strong full‑stack engineering skills, comfortable across Python backends, TypeScript frontends, and Linux hardware configuration.
- A resourceful, pragmatic approach to problem‑solving, making deliberate trade‑offs and prioritising ruthlessly to ship value.
